3.1.3 nodal points—a slender rod or bar in resonance
contains one or more points having zero displacement, called
nodal points. In the longitudinal and torsional fundamental
resonances of a uniform rod or bar, the mid-length point is the
nodal point (Fig. 1(a) and Fig. 1(d)). For the fundamental
transverse or flexural resonance, the nodal points are located at
0.224 L from each end, where L is the length of the specimen
(Fig. 1(b) and Fig. 1(c)).
3.1.4 resonance—a slender rod or bar driven into one of the
above modes of vibration is said to be in resonance when the
imposed frequency is such that resultant displacements for a
given amount of driving force (voltage) are at a maximum. The
resonant frequency is a natural vibration frequency which is
determined by the elastic moduli, density, and dimensions of
the test specimen.

3.1.5 slender rod or bar—a specimen whose ratio of length
to minimum cross-sectional dimension is at least 5 but not
more than 20.
3.1.6 transverse vibrations—when the oscillations in a slen-
der rod or bar are in a horizontal plane normal to the length
dimension, the vibrations are said to be in the transverse mode
(Fig. 1(b)). This mode is also commonly referred to as the
flexural mode when the oscillations are in a vertical plane (Fig.
1(c)). Either the transverse or flexural mode of specimen
vibration will yield the correct fundamental frequency, subject
to the geometric considerations given in 9.1.
3.1.7 torsional vibrations—when the oscillations in each
cross-sectional plane of a slender rod or bar are such that the
plane twists around the length dimension axis, the vibrations
are said to be in the torsional mode (Fig. 1(d)).
4. Summary of Test Method
4.1 The dynamic methods of determining the elastic moduli
are based on the measurement of the fundamental resonant
frequencies of a slender rod of circular or rectangular cross
section. The resonant frequencies are related to the specimen
dimensions and material properties as follows:
4.1.1 Transverse or Flexural Mode—The equation for the
fundamental resonant frequency of the transverse or flexural
mode of vibration is as follows:
E 5 CMf 2 (1)
where:
E = elastic modulus, Pa,
C = a dimensional constant that depends upon the shape
and size of the specimen, and Poisson’s ratio. The
units of C are to be consistent with those of E, M, and
f,
M = mass of the specimen, kg, and
f = frequency of fundamental transverse or flexural mode
of vibration, Hz.
R = ratio of the polar moment of inertia to the shape factor
for torsional rigidity,
B = a constant consistent with the units of G, R, f, L, and r,
f = frequency of fundamental torsional mode of vibration,
Hz,
L = length of the specimen, m, and
r = density of the specimen as determined by Test Method
C559, kg/m3.
5. Significance and Use
5.1 This test method is primarily concerned with the room
temperature determination of the dynamic moduli of elasticity
and rigidity of slender rods or bars composed of homoge-
neously distributed carbon or graphite particles.
5.2 This test method can be adapted for other materials that
are elastic in their initial stress-strain behavior, as defined in
Test Method E111.
5.3 This basic test method can be modified to determine
elastic moduli behavior at temperatures from −75°C to
+2500°C. Thin graphite rods may be used to project the
specimen extremities into ambient temperature conditions to
provide resonant frequency detection by the use of transducers
as described in 6.1.
6. Apparatus
6.1 The fundamental resonant frequencies for the different
modes of vibration of a test specimen can be determined by
several established testing procedures. The apparatus described
herein uses phonograph record pickup cartridges as a conve-
nient method of generating and detecting these frequencies. A
typical testing apparatus is shown schematically in Fig. 2.
6.1.1 Driving Circuit—The driving circuit consists of a
variable-frequency oscillator and a record pickup cartridge
assembly. It is recommended that a variable-frequency oscil-
lator be used in conjunction with a digital-frequency counter.

4.1.2 Longitudinal Mode—The equation for the fundamen-

tal resonant frequency of the longitudinal mode of variation is
as follows:
E 5 Df 2L 2 r (2)

where:
E = elastic modulus, Pa,
D = a constant consistent with the units of E, f, and L,
f = frequency of fundamental longitudinal mode of vibra-
tion, Hz,
L = length of the specimen, m, and
r = density of the specimen as determined by Test Method
C559, kg/m3.
4.1.3 Torsional Mode—The equation for the fundamental
resonant frequency of the torsional mode of vibration is as
follows:
G 5 R Bf 2L 2 r (3)

The oscillator shall have sufficient power output to induce
detectable vibrations in the test specimen at frequencies above
and below the fundamental frequency under consideration.
Means for controlling the output of the oscillator shall be
provided. The vibrating needle of the driving unit shall be
small in mass as compared to the test specimen, and a means
shall be provided to maintain a minimal contact pressure on the
specimen. Either a piezoelectric or magnetic driving unit
meeting these requirements may be used.
6.1.2 Pickup Circuit—The pickup circuit consists of a
record pickup cartridge, amplifier, optional high-pass filter, and
an indicating meter or cathode-ray oscilloscope. The pickup
unit shall generate a voltage proportional to the amplitude,
velocity, or acceleration of the test specimen. Either a piezo-
electric or magnetic pickup unit meeting these conditions may
be used. The amplifier shall have a controllable output of
sufficient magnitude to sharply peak out the resonant frequen-
cies on the indicating meter or the cathode-ray oscilloscope
display tube. It may be necessary to use a high-pass filter in
order to reduce room noise and spurious vibrations. The
indicating meter may be a voltmeter, microammeter or oscil-
loscope. An oscilloscope is recommended because it enables
the operator to positively identify resonances, including higher
order harmonics, by Lissajous figure analysis.
6.1.3 Specimen Supports—The supports shall permit the
specimen to oscillate without significant restriction in the
desired mode. This is accomplished for all modes by support-
ing the specimen at its transverse fundamental nodal points
(0.224 L from each end). The supports should have minimal
area in contact with the specimen and shall be of cork, rubber,
or similar material. In order to properly identify resonant
frequencies, the receiver record pickup cartridge must be
movable along the total specimen length. Provisions shall be
made to adjust contact pressures of both record pickup car-
tridges in order to accommodate specimen size variations. The
entire specimen support structure shall be mounted on a
massive base plate resting on vibration isolators.
7. Test Specimens
7.1 Selection and Preparation of Specimens—In the selec-
tion and preparation of test specimens, take special care to
obtain representative specimens that are straight, uniform in
cross section, and free of extraneous liquids.
7.2 Measurement of Weight and Dimensions—Determine
the weight and the average length of the specimens within
60.5 %. Determine average specimen cross-sectional dimen-
sion within 61 %.
7.3 Limitations on Dimensional Ratio— Specimens having
either very small or very large ratios of length to thickness may
be difficult to excite in the fundamental modes of vibration. For
this method, the ratio must be between 5 and 20 (slender rod
limitations).
8. Procedure
8.1 Switch on all electrical equipment and allow to stabilize
in accordance with the manufacturers’ recommendations. (Use
of a metal bar as a calibration standard is recommended to
check equipment response and accuracy. Dimensional mea-
surements and weight shall meet the requirements of 7.2.)

8.2 Transverse Fundamental Resonance Frequency:
8.2.1 Place the specimen on the supports, which are located
at the fundamental transverse nodal points (0.224 L from each
end). Place the driving and pickup-unit vibrating needles on the
specimen center line at its extreme opposite ends with a
minimal contact pressure consistent with good response. The
vibrating direction of the driving and pickup needles must be
perpendicular to the length of the specimen (Fig. 1(b)).
8.2.2 Force the test specimen to vibrate at various frequen-
cies and simultaneously observe the amplified output on an
indicating meter or oscilloscope. Record the frequency of
vibration of the specimen that results in a maximum displace-
ment, having a well-defined peak on the indicator, where nodal
point tracking indicates fundamental transverse resonance.
8.2.3 A basic understanding of Lissajous patterns as dis-
played on an oscilloscope cathode ray tube (CRT), will aid in
the proper identification of the modes of vibration and har-
monic frequencies observed. As the oscillator frequency level
is increased from a point well below expected resonance, a
single closed loop Lissajous pattern tilted from the horizontal
reference plane, will eventually be displayed on the CRT. This
pattern denotes a resonance mode. The nodal points dynamic
modulus tracking guide template (Fig. 3) may be used to
identify any resonant mode.
8.2.4 Move the pickup cartridge needle slowly toward the
specimen center and observe the Lissajous pattern loop.
Fundamental transverse resonance is indicated when the fol-
lowing conditions prevail:
8.2.4.1 The loop pattern flattens to a horizontal line with the
pickup needle over the specimen support.
8.2.4.2 The CRT pattern opens up to a full loop in a
direction normal to its original direction, with the pickup
needle over the specimen center.
8.2.5 Return the pickup needle to its original position at the
specimen end.
8.2.6 Spurious resonating frequency modes may mask or
attenuate the fundamental transverse frequency indication.
Investigation of higher order harmonic resonating frequencies
by use of the tracking guide template (Fig. 3) will help to
identify the correct fundamental frequency mode. A plot of the
ratio of harmonic to fundamental frequency for transverse
mode of vibration (Fig. 4) may then be used to calculate the
fundamental transverse resonant frequency mode.
8.3 Longitudinal Fundamental Resonance Frequency:
8.3.1 Leave the specimen supported at the fundamental
transverse mode nodal points as in 8.2.1. Rotate the driving
unit and pickup cartridge needles so as to induce vibrations
parallel to the specimen length (Fig. 1(a)).
8.3.2 Force the test specimen to vibrate as in 8.2.2. Record
the frequency of vibration of the test specimen, where nodal
point tracking indicates fundamental longitudinal resonance.
The second harmonic longitudinal resonant frequency is twice
the fundamental longitudinal resonant frequency.
8.4 Torsional Fundamental Resonance Frequency:
8.4.1 Leave the specimen supported as in 8.2.1. Rotate the
driving unit and pickup cartridge needles so as to induce
vibrations perpendicular to the length of the sample (Fig. 1
(d)).

8.4.2 Force the specimen to vibrate as in 8.2.2. Record the
frequency of vibration of the test specimen, where nodal point
tracking indicates fundamental torsional resonance. The sec-
ond harmonic torsional resonant frequency is twice the funda-
mental torsional resonant frequency.

9. Calculation
9.1 Calculate the dynamic modulus of elasticity for the
transverse or flexural mode of vibration from the fundamental
transverse frequency, weight, and dimensions of the test
specimen as follows:
2
Dynamic E 5 CMf (4)
where units are as defined in 3.1.1. The evaluation of the
constant C, because of the complexity of its determination, is
in tabular form. Eq 4 may be rewritten in the forms:
Dynamic E ~pascals! 5 AcMf 2/d for rods with
circular cross sections (5)
where d is the diameter of the rod in metres, and
Dynamic E ~pascals! 5 ARMf 2/w for bars with
square or rectangular cross sections (6)
where w is the width dimension of the bar in metres.
9.1.1 Values of Ac and AR are shown in Annex A1 under
Table A1.1 and Table A1.2. The value of Ac is given as a
function of the diameter-to-length ratio of the sample. The
value of AR is given as a function of the ratio of the dimension
in the direction of vibration, t, to the length. The dimension, w,
is perpendicular to the vibration direction, as shown in Fig. 5.
Table A1.1 and Table A1.2 have been calculated for three
values of Poisson’s ratio (µ). The value of (µ) = 1⁄6 is normally
used for carbon-graphite materials.
9.2 The dynamic modulus of elasticity in pascals may also
be calculated from the fundamental longitudinal frequency,
weight, and dimensions of the test specimen as follows:
Dynamic E 5 4.000 f 2L2r for rods and bars (7)
where the units are as defined in 3.1.5.
9.3 Calculate the dynamic modulus of rigidity (shear modu-
lus) in pascals from the fundamental torsional frequency, mass,
and dimensions of the test specimen as follows:
Dynamic G 5 RBf 2L2 r (8)
 C747 – 93 (2005)
FIG. 5 Definition of Length (L), Width (w), and Thickness (t)
where the units are as defined in 4.1.3.
9.3.1 The value of R is equal to 1 for a rod of circular cross
section. R for bars of square cross section is 1.183. An
approximate expression for R in the case of rectangular cross
sections is as follows (see Test Methods C215 and C885):
@1 1 ~a2/b2!#
R5
@4 2 2.52 ~b/a! 1 0.21 ~b/a! 5#
where:
a = large dimension of the rectangular cross section, and
b = small dimension of the rectangular cross section.
9.3.2 Eq 8 may be rewritten as follows:
Dynamic G 5 4.000 f 2L2 p for circular cylinders (10)
2 2
Dynamic G 5 4.732 f L p for square cross sections (11)
2 2
Dynamic G 5 4.000 Rf L p for rectangular cross sections (12)
